Talk:List of highest-grossing animated films/Archive 2

Highest grossing animated films by year
I've been putting together a list from 1937 to 2014, with multiple sources, but still I have 11 years that I can't find a movie for (47, 49,52,54,56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 65, 74), If someone knows sources for this years, please help me complete the list, and keep in mind that re-releases of Disney movies don't count

Can we see this list
 * {{legend|#b6fcb6|size=50%| Background shading indicates films playing in the week commencing in theaters around the world.}}

( ... ) Since grosses are not limited to original theatrical runs, a film's first-run gross is included in brackets after the total if known.


 * DM = US domestic gross
 * JDM = Japanes domestic gross
 * ADM = Australian domestic gross
 * NDM = Norwegian domestic gross
 * R = US rentals
 * MX = Mexican gorss only.

I can not find anything should we ask Talk List of highest grossing films to help us find them
 * Any GOOD help is welcomed

 * "Anime are Japanese animated productions usually featuring hand-drawn or computer animation...the term is defined as animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes"

So it both? Could animes be longer? — — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.222.244 (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Inflation Adjusted Gross Receipts
Would be helpful to add a column or separate chart ranking releases in inflation adjusted ticket sales.....Noh Chung (talk) 19:33, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that might need a whole separate table or list article. -- Horkana (talk) 22:21, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, this article does center around a genre (animation) that has such a large scope, in terms of history, and it would help to present what films would actually be on the list if inflation was taken into account. ~ Jedi94   20:12, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

That'll be a great idea, but good luck finding a source. JDDJS (talk) 02:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a basic algorithm for adjusting the figures (an editor brought it up in a discussion complaining about the misleading grosses of 3D films I think it was). It's less complicated than you might think, but it does need to be properly sourced. -- Horkana (talk) 11:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Box Office Mojo explains how to do the adjustment here, but is that a sufficient source for doing our own calculations? Anterras (talk) 20:01, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I ask http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_highest-grossing_films#inflation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.224.222 (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

There are lists for this but theythey miss disney classics bom says how to do  it http://www.boxofficemojo.com/about/adjuster.htm can we us that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 07:24, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Calculating inflation for (animated) films is kind of pointless, since many of them had multiple releases, like Lion King, Finding Nemo and Toy Story / Toy Story 2 (3D).--Carniolus (talk) 20:21, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I think it can be extended to 30 but I'm not sure if I have all the correct films, from what a gathered, the continuation should look like this. If someone else knows other films that might get on the list, please comment. DCF94 (talk) 13:12, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

That see right to me top 30 here we come — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.218.151 (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

the boxoffice trolls
how long utill The Boxtrolls hit the list . also how many more do you need to expand the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 17:29, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It needs about $2 millions to get in Top 10 and as for expanding, we can't expand it yet, according to BOM, beyond the Top 10 we have just a few more movies with less than a million, so at this point we don't have enough material to expand the list. DCF94 (talk) 22:55, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

1974
The '74 film on the high-grossing film by year list isn't a full animated movie, has no source to the bo gross and it is released worldwide in 1973 in the UK, so it is not a correct entry. DCF94 (talk) 14:29, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

timeline
I got a question About http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_animated_films#Timeline_of_highest-grossing_animated_films –My question is did snow white really hold the record for 55 years as the highest-grossing animated film of all time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 21:34, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Dragons 2
Box Office Mojo is reporting a box office total for How To Train Your Dragon 2 of $618,799,302 http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=howtotrainyourdragon2.htm Total Foreign gross as of 11/5/14 was $441,907,011 Telewski (talk) 00:51, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Rio 2 ends run
Based on data posted on Box Office Mojo http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=rio2.htm Rio 2 ended its run in Brazil as it is the last update 11/9/14. May be time to unhighlight it. Telewski (talk) 00:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Frozen
frozen has made $1.276billon not 1.275billon and it is not highlighted. I do not know how to highlight or update the total can you try? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 12:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Frozen was re-released as in the sing-a-long version in the United Kingdom for the Weekend of Nov 30th and is still playing in theaters this weekend. The discrepancy in the earnings numbers was resolved on the Wiki page for highest grossing movies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films and will likely be returned to $1.276 billion due to an accounting error on BOM regarding exchange rates between the USD and the UK Pound for the Nov 30 total. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_highest-grossing_films#Why_FROZEN_total_dropped._USD-Pound_exchange_rate I cannot edit this page, so this is for information purposes only Telewski (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

peak
we can include the peak of a film, what is the highest rank the film is, or was once at, like on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_films — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 16:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * We can, but we need alot of research, especially for the pre-2000 films. And I think we can do only for the main list, maybe for the computer list too, but for the rest it's very hard to find research and, in my opinion, pointless DCF94 (talk) 19:48, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

 * We should source this peeks, like the ones from List of highest-grossing films. The page lacks sources already, we don't need to add more unsourced content. DCF94 (talk) 22:58, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

flops
Is there any where for biggest amited folps — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 00:50, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Studios
I don't think adding a studio section on the lists is a good idea, this page is concentrating on which is the highest grossing animated film, not what studio produced (if we add the studio, should we add who directed too?), that kind information you can find on the film's own page, not to mention the style, it looks ugly adding a section that attracts the attention from the film. The best thing would be to add a sentence before every list mentioning which studio is the most represented on the giving list. DCF94 (talk) 21:03, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. There is a lot of information we could add (studios/directors/stars etc) but it detracts from the overall goal of the article: to record the highest-grossing animated films. We used to have these columns at List of highest-grossing films but we removed them because it was a lot of superfluous information which didn't tell us a whole lot about the films. The aim of these articles is to record the different metrics we have for success; there may be something interesting to be said about the studios or directors but it can usually be covered by a paragraph in the lede or section introductions. Personally I think the charts are more useful when they only include essential information i.e. grosses, years, ranks etc. Betty Logan (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

FINALLY
Finally we have a Top 20 franchises and film series! I can't belive I was so clueless about the new Tarzan movie, granted, it wasen't a well-known big shot movie, but still. And before someone says something, YES! it does count as an entry for the list, it's not a film series, but both are part of the Tarzan franchise because both films are adapted from the same book. DCF94 (talk) 01:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you also going to put Frozen and The Snow Queen together as one franchise? Anterras (talk) 02:26, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Tarzan & the sonw queen are a public domain so has no legal franchise backing it up, anyone can do whatever they feel like with the content of the books. IT IS NOT THE SAME FRANCHISE
 * Then how on the Highest grossing franchises and film series, in the James Bond series, they added Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale besides the EON series? And the two Tarzan films at least come from the same storyline as in the book. Frozen is barely inspired from The Snow Queen story, as it says on it's wiki page. DCF94 (talk) 12:18, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again are both official adaptations: Casino Royale (67) is still based on the Fleming book even though it's a comedy, and Never Say Never Again is based on Thunderball. Tarzan & frozen the hunchback of notre dome & many others are Public_domain James bond is not. If you do that the Pixar universe makes more sense and we not going to put that on.

 * So now someone needs to find the figures for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to maybe put the Winnie the Pooh franchise on the list or wait till next year for the Hotel Transylvania sequel. DCF94 (talk) 11:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh has made $5,866,242
 * Source? DCF94 (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Next year we got a few which can make it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animated_feature_films_of_2015
 * The only sure series is Hotel Transylvania, a series needs to have a total close to $300 million to get on the list, because of the Winnie the Pooh and Dragon Ball series, I don't know if the SpongeBob sequel will make enough to get on the list and I honestly doubt that Shaun the Sheep will make enough for the Wallace and Gromit series to get on. One other thing that might be a problem is the new Dragon Ball film, we still don't know the total of the series but if the new movie makes as good as Battle of Gods, it might get very close to the Top 20 DCF94 (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I said could who would the though frozen would make $1.275billon. Hotel t could make $250 dragon ball $60 Shaun $150 bob $60 we can not gesuues — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.218.244 (talk) 20:42, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought you were talking about film series, since that was the subject of this discussion DCF94 (talk) 23:05, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I was I was just says these cause these are the only series I can see make $300 million in the next few years other then peanuts (which got 6 million) finding nemo ( which got 936millon in the first one) & I do doubt that I top cat will. We can't say so by a 2016/2017 we have some more — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.213.154 (talk) 08:00, 21 September 2014 (UTC) and tintin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 15:23, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
